  • When Chris and Bob Atherton got married, they decided to build their family through adoption. They've adopted kids from around the world and many with challenging health conditions. It's an incredible story of life, love and family. Nearly 40 years and 14 kids later, they continue to run a busy household. Recently, the kids got together to surprise their parents with an update to the Athertons’ family room. help.houzz.com/s/article/How-...

    You know for a fact that those 14 people are tremendous human beings. they will have been raised in tolerance, without discrimination, know how to share and be compassionate towards others.

    Rest in Peace, Becca -- the daughter with the heart condition. She died on Oct. 12, 2018. What a beautiful, kindhearted and generous soul she was. I've tried to raise my daughter right and she's turning into an honest, sensitive and caring 16-year-old. But even if she is just a fraction of the kind of girl Becca seems to have been, I will be overjoyed.

I have a tattoo for Becca who passed not too long ago. I miss her every day. I love these people. They are so genuine and are truly the best people I’ve ever met. Love you Chris and Bob.
